Author Guidelines
Art/Research International accepts a range of expressive forms including (but not limited to) academic articles, fictional short stories, poetry, dramatic scripts, visual media (painting, drawing, textiles, photography, among others), music, among others. We ask that all submissions indicate, in the form of an abstract or artist statement, how the work links to both art and research practices.
Art/Research International falls into three sections: ‘Art/Research In Action,’ which focuses on examples from the practice of Art/Research – these could be accounts of research studies or art/research works in any publishable digital medium; ‘Art/Research Theoretical Musings,’ which offers the opportunity to explore methodological ambitions and theoretical or philosophical underpinnings of Art/Research practices; and ‘Art/Research Reviews,’ which offers a space for Art/Researchers to give insight and critiques to the art/research work of other practitioner/scholars such as literary works, films, performances, visual artworks.
As this is a transdisciplinary journal, submissions should speak to a wide range of audiences and avoid discipline-specific jargon.
Prospective Art/Research authors please read and adhere to the following guidelines. Please address any questions to: ari@ualberta.ca.
Please note that there are no article processing charges (APCs) or any other submission charges for publication in this journal.
For text-based submissions:
- Please limit text-based submissions to a maximum of 7500 words (plus references; approximately 30 pages). Reviews should be no more than 4000 words in length.
- We accept a range of academic style conventions such as APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, as we aim to be flexible due to the international/transdisciplinary/multimodal nature of the journal. Please indicate with your submission your chosen style convention to assist the reviewers and please be consistent throughout including in citations, reference list and formatting.
- We ask that all submissions be in English; unfortunately at this time we do not have the capacity to accept or publish submissions in languages other than English. As the journal grows, we anticipate expanding language options.
